Don't discount Millwall or Plymouth either ( have the former ever been to Whaddon Road? ). The difference between L1 and L2 is really stark. Gateshead brought 14 fans down in our National League season. I remember counting them. Of the National League promotion contenders, only Chesterfield and Ald...

tbf we look decent in the 2nd against Exeter without him so hope we don't rush him back. Fully aware time isn't on our side though.

would love to see plymouth back in league one, their jumped up fanbase well and truly back in their box. They're lower league and deep down they know it.

Another 'suspicious' action from Martin was his run to the half way line after the third penalty shout for a "discussion" with the 4th official, thus allowing Exeter to completely reset before the corner and taking all our impetus out of our attack.

Seen the replay of the Exeter pen decision now and it seems to be one of those that was never a pen according to the original handball rule, i.e. it had to be deliberate. No way was it deliberate but it did seem to hit the hand and these days it is down to how ready the ref is to give it and of cou...

A the moment still think he's at his best (and do most damage) with the ball half way into the oppositions half, his shooting needs work but don't want him worrying about that at the moment. If only we had Street and Taylor fit!!!!

Exeter couldn't cope with him at all all they could do was bully kick and foul. He changed the game when he came on a delight to watch and really gets the home crowd going.

longmover

As mentioned (many times) before, yesterday was more evidence that large away followings only mean one thing (on the pitch).

Corruption level of officiating by Martin, for whatever reason he has decided to ref the game the way he has and it needs investigation. One thing that struck me was when Thomas went down (in the box) he was surrounded by five or six Exeter players who weren't to shy in their general aggression (pul...

so you think the new owner(s) are going to strip back spending and sort themselves with a few seasons in league one? or just spend just slightly less than the previous owners to get back into the champ asap :roll: The new owner is a known rugby fan and has apparently only really taken control to se...

In fairness to Wigan, they had two owners in four years, a Bahrain based conglomerate and a Hong Kong investment fund, under whom these problems occurred. Their new owner bought the club last summer so is not responsible for the mess these losses indicate. so you think the new owner(s) are going to...

Imagine some home fans prefer to drink in Parklands. for a guaranteed sold out away following making away only means away fans don't have the risk of being turned away at other pubs, its right next to the ground so no risk of having to leave a pub (they can get in) early to make kick off and pretty...

Iglu run the bowling green and other food and drink outlets.

Lloyd's harrying and pressing game is why he's caught the eye (not his goal scoring) and always thought he wouldn't be around too long with the way he's playing.

Money grows money. The club has little compared to others. If we had more money, we could employ more people, who could generate more income. We could invest more into the facilities, which would generate more income. Just because other owners are able and willing to throw £1m in, or are able to op...

We are still a bit non league off the pitch, is my personal view. The makeup of the board to me seems to lack the necessary skills and invention and willingness to progress to being a forward thinking League 1 club and beyond. Could do with better PR from the board, including a detailed plan on how...

I genuinely don't know, so this is not me trying to be clever with a sarcastic question. How many clubs have publicly published detailed plans of how they plan to move forward commercially? don't think I mentioned publicly publishing details (did I?) we need to work harder to get some more commerci...

The Einstein's are of course correct. It is wrong yo even have the opinion that it may be more cost effective to install a 4g pitch than spend it on Whaddon Road.

How Fleetwood are still in the league with their (now behind bars) owner fraudulent antics is beyond, pretty sure that financed a few promotions, best thing is his children are now running the club #fitandproper.

But as has been said before, Man City have 116 charges, not just a couple like Everton and Forest. It's obviously going to take a lot longer to go through 116. It takes solicitors a bloody age to do anything, no matter how much they're paid. And there's no point in just docking them points/demoting...

Are there any stats out on the sales of retro (non official) England shirts over the official product? Can't imagine many people are going to go down the official route at those prices or are they trying to target the affluent "occasional" England fan for this years Euro's?

Reading's sponsor, Select Car Leasing, are reported to have paid to cover the £1m shortfall in funding for March. Which would ward off the threat of a points deduction for now.

Saturday is a day where things may become a little clearer with Burton at home to PortVale. I presume a draw would be the ideal result for us. A win for Portvale may give them confidence to go on a little run with their up and coming games. Again we don't want Burton getting 3 points and stretching...

I see all the forest fans are out bemoaning how unfair it is that they've been punished for cheating.

Pleased to see this and is a very good initiative. However, was very disappointed to read today that Exeter have been given the 1,500 allocation for the game on Easter Monday (of which they apparently only have around 100 left for sale).

The drama from Berkshire continues. Wycombe have pulled out of the deal to buy Reading's training ground. It seems that a detail in the planning consent when the facility was built specified it's use a football training venue AND that Reading FC would be the sole user. Seems to have put them off. T...
